The IAAT mission is to ensure that the appropriate standards are met by animal therapy professional's to offer the best care for owners and their animals. They ensure their members carry out continuing professional development, as well as ensuring all members are fully insured and qualified.

Lucy studied Centaur Equine Massage Training's Holistic Equine Massage Practitioner course from July 2023 until April 2025.

During her time studying with us, Lucy consistently submitted work of a high standard, completing the course with at overall distinction grade.

During the practical training days, Lucy demonstrated a calm and caring nature towards the horses, a passion for her learning and was able to work well with both students and tutors alike.

It was a pleasure to guide Lucy through her studies and I would not hesitate to recommend her highly to anyone wishing to book their horse or pony in for a treatment.

Lucy recently treated our 16hh mare, Tina, who is 5 years old and currently building up to Event. From the outset, Lucy was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. She took the time to really listen to Tina’s history and our goals moving forward, which we truly appreciated.

Her treatment was thorough, sympathetic, and clearly tailored to Tina’s individual needs. Tina responded beautifully—relaxing and freeing off more than she has in quite some time.

Lucy also provided us with specific exercises to support Tina’s conformation, along with in-hand work to help keep her comfortable and relaxed between treatments.

I would highly recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a dedicated and skilled professional. We’ll definitely be having her treat Tina on a regular basis going forward.

Lucy is amazing in every sense. She has been part of our new horse ownership adventure from the start and regularly provides my family with constructive and very informative riding lessons where she can access how we sit and react with our 6 year old Mare and give much needed insight on how to improve both us and our horse. Lucy has shown patience, kindness and expertise with Marley’s massage sessions with plenty of exercise tips to help manage and eliminate any issues that come up along the way - Marley always ends up feeling relaxed by the end of her treatments and shows clear signs of easier movements afterwards. I would happily recommend Lucy for ongoing treatments.
